Jefry Marte Fantasy News

Miguel Cabrera's calf strain, which is expected to sideline him until mid-August, has forced the Tigers to get creative with their options at first base. Marc Krauss, catcher Alex Avila, third baseman Jefry Marte and utility infielder Andrew Romine have all filled in at the position. On Monday, manager Brad Ausmus hinted at another possibility: Victor Martinez.

First baseman Miguel Cabrera has undergone physical therapy, been given a platelet-rich plasma injection and taken hyperbaric chamber treatments as he begins to work his way back from a medial calf strain, team trainer Kevin Rand said on Thursday.
